by my understanding, D-Link Airplus Extreme router is not PPTP pass through router. so, you may need another router and setup dmz.

OK, so it sounds like the router is the only hardware obstacle. &nbsp;What is an affordable suitable router I can use.<br />

I have three computers running the following: Win2k, XP Home and XP Pro. &nbsp;I would like to set-up a VPN Server so others can log-on and access my MSDE database. &nbsp;This will be used occasionally only so if there is only one connection at a time possible that will probably do.<br />
<br />
I prefer to set it up on the Win2k machine which is behind a D-Link Airplus Extreme router.<br />
<br />
What hardware changes do I have to make do do what I want?<br />
<br />
Although I am not too tech savvy I will try implementing your software solutions so maybe we can skip that for now.<br />

VPN setup hardware and software

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
